(WTVJ-TV) A group of 20 students headed to prom – along with their limousine driver – helped rescue five adults and two children, who were trapped in a van after they crashed on Interstate 595 Saturday.

The students, from Western High School, were on their way to their senior prom when their limo driver witnessed the accident and stopped to help, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

The van had flipped on its side and the driver had to stop quickly in order to avoid hitting the van, the report said.
